Announcing Andrew Stewart's
"One Hundred Greek Sculptors"

September 17, 1998

The Perseus Project is pleased to announce a web version of Andrew Stewart's "One Hundred Greek Sculptors: Their Careers and Extant Works," an essay that comprises Part III of Stewart's award winning two-volume book, Greek Sculpture, available from Yale University Press.

This essay, which is also included in Perseus 2.0, is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of Greek Sculpture. It provides an introduction to Greek sculptors and the sources that inform us about them, and catalogs the primary sources--texts, inscriptions, extant works, and attributions--that comprise evidence for the lives and works of ca. 100 of the most prominent Greek sculptors. Bibliographic references to secondary sources, including Parts I and II of Stewart's Greek Sculpture, are also included.

"One Hundred Greek Sculptors," is fully interconnected with the Perseus digital library. This essay contains translations of the most important or revealing secondary sources (testimonia), which are numbered sequentially, with links to relevant texts in the original languages. There are also links to the Perseus Project's sculpture catalog from specific works mentioned in Stewart's text. Testimonia may be accessed from the table of contents, and links to testimonia are also provided within the text where they are cited. When you know the number of a particular testimonium you may access it directly from the Perseus look-up tool: to access Testimonium 46 (an excerpt from Aristophanes' Peace), for example, simply type "stew. sculp. t 46" into the white box next to "Search Perseus" on our home page.

We are grateful to Yale University Press for permission to include this important work among the materials made available to the public through the Perseus Project web site.

We welcome your feedback and any comments on how you are making use of these resources.

Please report any problems to the Perseus webmaster.
